Free Radicals, Antioxidants and Disease
Living cells continually generate free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the respiratory chain during energetic metabolism. ROS can either be harmful or play important physiological roles in our body. Besides being produced during normal cell metabolism there are numerous exogenous factors, such as irradiation by UV light, X-rays, gamma-rays, and atmospheric pollutants which may...
متن کاملFree Radicals, Antioxidants in Disease and Health
Free radicals and oxidants play a dual role as both toxic and beneficial compounds, since they can be either harmful or helpful to the body. They are produced either from normal cell metabolisms in situ or from external sources (pollution, cigarette smoke, radiation, medication). When an overload of free radicals cannot gradually be destroyed, their accumulation in the body generates a phenomen...
متن کاملFree radicals and the pathogenesis of disease.
In this issue of the Medical Journal of Malaysia, A. S. Salim reports on his experience with free radical scavengers in the treatment of refractory peptic ulceration!. Although the number of patients in his study was small and the trial was open and non-comparative, the results obtained are interesting enough to justifY further research into the role of free radicals in the pathogenesis of pept...
متن کاملFree radicals, lipid peroxidation, and Parkinson's disease.
S were 123 g heavier on average (p < 002) than babies in group N-the reverse of a passive smoking effect. The groups were similar in other respects except for the proportion of unemployed husbands. The amounts smoked by the partners in group S showed no dose-response relationship with birthweight, such as might have suggested a causal association (data not shown). Our evidence does not support ...
متن کاملThe role of free radicals, oxidative stress and antioxidant systems in diabetic vascular disease.
Recent experimental findings suggest that overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), lowered antioxidant defense and alterations of enzymatic pathways in humans with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus can contribute to endothelial, vascular and neurovascular dysfunction. Over the past decade, there has been substantial interest in oxidative stress and its potential role ...
